GEC/GES/GEH 24 VDC Commander2 Series Low Frequency Evacuation Signals Applications SERIES The Commander2 Series is a low profile strobe, horn or horn/strobe combination that offers dependable audible and audible/visual alarms and the absolute lowest current available. The GE Series is available in fixed candela options of 15/75 and 177. The Commander2 Series horn offers a continuous or synchable temporal three in 2400Hz and mechanical tone, a chime and whoop tone. All tones are easy for the professional to change in the field by using switches. The GE Series has a minimal operation current and has a minimum flash rate of 1Hz regardless of input voltage. Product Listings The Commander2 Series is shipped with the standard 4" mounting plate which incorporates the popular Super-Slide® feature that allows the installer to easily test for supervision. The product also features a locking mechanism which secures the product to the bracket without any screws showing. The Commander2 Series also features the patented Checkmate® Instant Voltage Verification feature which allows the installer to check the voltage drop draw and match it to the blueprint. The GE Series appliances are ANSI/UL 464, ANSI/UL 1971 and/or ANSI/UL 1638 listed for use with fire protective systems and are warranted for three years from date of purchase. • ANSI/UL 464, ANSI/UL 1971 and/or ANSI/UL 1638 Listed • CSFM: 7135-0569:122 (GEH-24 & GEC-24) 7125-0569:123 (GES-24) 7135-0569: 130 (GEH-12) • MEA: 285-91-E-XV Patents • 7,375,617 May 20, 2008 Standard Features Product Compliance • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Nominal voltage 24VDC Fixed candela options of 15/75 and 177 GEH horn is available in 12VDC or 24VDC Super-Slide® Bracket - ease of supervision testing Checkmate® - instant voltage verification Unit Dimensions: 5” (12.7 cm) high x 4.5” (11.43 cm) wide x 2.5” (6.35 cm) deep Synchronize strobe and/or horn with Gentex AVSM Control Module Prewire entire system, install mounting bracket, then install signals Documented lower installation and operating costs Input terminals 12 to 18 AWG Switch selection for high or low dBA Switch for chime, whoop, mechanical and 2400Hz tone Switch for continuous or temporal 3 (not available on whoop tone) Tamperproof re-entrant grill Surface mount with the GSB (Gentex Surface Mount Box) Silence horn while strobes remain flashing Faceplate available in red or off-white NFPA 72 Amer icans with Disabilities Act (ADA) IBC/IFC/IRC City & State Ordinances/Laws/Regulations Quality Management System is cer tified to: ISO 9001:2008 GEH 12VDC and 24VDC Low Profile Evacuation Horn Model Number GEH12-R GEH12-W GEH24-R GEH24-W Par t Number 904-1239-002 904-1241-002 904-1205-002 904-1207-002 Nominal Voltage 12 VDC 12 VDC 24 VDC 24 VDC Reverberant dBA @ 10ft., per ANSI/UL 464 70-82 70-82 70-82 70-82 In Anechoic Room dBA @ 10ft. 100 100 100 100 GES 24 VDC Low Profile Evacuation Strobe Par t Number Nominal Voltage Strobe Candela GES24-177WR 904-1183-002 24 VDC 177 GES24-177WW 904-1203-002 24 VDC 177 Model Number GES24-15/75WR 904-1167-002 24 VDC GES24-15/75WW 904-1187-002 24 VDC Model Designations: W = Wall mount R = Red Faceplate W = White Faceplate All units are available in plain (no lettering).

The sound output for the temporal 3 tone is rated lower since the time the horn is off is averaged into the sound output rating. While the horn is producing a tone in the temporal 3 mode its sound pressure is the same as the continuous mode. • For nominal and peak current across UL regulated voltage range for filtered DC power and unfiltered (FWR [Full Wave Rectified]) power, see installation manual. 12VDC models are DC only. * Operating the horn in this mode at this voltage will result in not meeting the minimum ANSI/UL 464 reverberant sound level required for public mode fire protection service. These settings are acceptable only for private mode fire alarm use. Use the high dBA setting for public mode application (not applicable when using the chime tone. The chime tone is always private mode). 1 RMS current ratings are per UL average RMS method. UL max current rating is the maximum RMS current within the listed voltage range (16-33VDC for 24VDC units) (8-17VDC for 12VDC units). For strobes the UL max current is usually at the minimum listed voltage (16VDC for 24VDC units) (8VDC for 12VDC units). For audibles the max current is usually at the maximum listed voltage. For unfiltered FWR ratings, see installation manual.

The access holes are provided in the back of the terminal block to allow the voltage to be measured directly without removing the device. Typically this would be done at the end of the line to confirm design criteria. Most measurements will be taken using the S+ and S- locations although access is provided to other locations. Allows the installer to pre-wire the system, test for system supervision, remove the signal head until occupancy, switch out Gentex signals without changing mounting brackets and has locking edge connector for snap-in-place installation. NOTE: Care should be taken to not shor t the test probes. To remove bezel, grip both sides of bezel and pull in a downward and outward motion. GEC/GES/GEH 24 VDC SERIES Conventional GES/GEC Series Wiring Diagrams NOTES: • All strobes are designed to flash as specified with continuous applied voltage. Strobes should not be used on coded or pulsing signaling circuits. However, use of the Gentex AVSM control module or Gentex synchronization protocol is permitted to synchronize the strobe, horn and/or mute the horn. See Technical Bulletin 014 for additional information. • FOR SYNCHRONIZATION WIRING INFORMATION, REFERENCE AVSM CONTROL MODULE DATA SHEET (551-0031) AND/OR AVSM CONTROL MODULE MANUAL (550-0284) FOR SYNCHRONIZATION MODULE WIRING DIAGRAMS. AVSM CONTROL MODULE DATA SHEET AND MANUAL CAN BE OBTAINED AT http://www.gentex.com OR CALL GENTEX CORPORATION AT 1-800-436-8391. • When synchronizing the GEH 12VDC Series, the Gentex AVSM control module or Gentex synchronization protocol MUST be used.
